'on bad terms' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dorothy over splitting bills' is the wordplay.
'dorothy' becomes 'dot' (nickname for someone called Dorothy).
'over' is a reversal indicator.
'splitting' indicates putting letters inside.
'bills' becomes 'ads' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dot' in reverse letter order is 'tod'.
'tod' inserted within 'ads' is 'AT ODDS'.

'with' is the link.
